Chapter 336: On the Fold
The sound of killing in the city stopped, and the change occurred. A clanging sound could be seen from afar. The city gate slowly opened. Although there was an expectation, it was still nervous in the previous situation.
Suddenly the flag danced, the forward changed the formation, the team of arrows stepped forward and formed a crossbow formation, but saw the door hole empty, and a man ran out for a moment, waved a white flag in his hand, shouting: "I'll surrender, I'll surrender."
Then, the officials and generals in various robes were divided into two groups, singing their names loudly according to their identities, and kneeling to the ground with a loud bang.
"Come here, check the heads of the Marquis of Jibei, seize the weapons, and send people to the city to take over the surrendered army." Pei Ziyun did not enter the city, so as not to be ambushed, but arranged for troops to enter the city first.
"Chen Yong, you cooperate with the senator to lead the army into the city. If anyone dares to commit crimes, he will be killed immediately."
"Yes, real person!" Chen Yong immediately responded, and pointed the army into the city to avoid anyone setting up an ambush.
The captain immediately stepped forward and cooperated with the officials to receive the head, token, and seal, carefully checked and confirmed that it was correct. Then he returned to Pei Ziyun: "The real person is the head of the Marquis of Jibei, confirm that it is correct."
"Okay, the head of the crime has been sentenced. I will pardon you as agreed and be innocent. But your official position cannot be retained. You will be removed from the black hat and wait for the court to deal with it." Pei Ziyun said as he looked at the kneeling surrendered general and surrendered.
"Prince Xie, Xie Zhenren."
These surrendered officials and generals thanked each other again, and the captain went forward to remove the black hat.
Prince Chengshun was a little nervous. At this time, he followed Pei Ziyun, looking bloody, a little trembling, and tried hard to straighten his back.
"The surrendered soldiers should be cleaned up and registered. They should be eliminated and returned to their hometowns. These people re-arranged and followed the surrendered soldiers back to the county and back to their hometowns."
"Yes!" The army confiscated weapons and counted the list, and they were in an orderly manner.
After a long time, when the city gate reached the street leading to the Governor's Mansion, there were three zhang, five zhang, and all the soldiers standing guarded were standing solemnly, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Pei Ziyun rode on the horse and looked at it, as if thinking, Chen Yongcai came out and reported: "The real person, there is no danger in the city, and he can enter the city."
After the wind blew, Pei Ziyun relaxed a little, smiled, and held the whip forward: "Prince, the rebellion in Yingzhou has been quelled, let's enter."
Listening to Pei Ziyun's words, Prince Chengshun nodded: "Everything is arranged by the real person."
"Enter the City" With Pei Ziyun's order, the army set out into the city.
In the neighborhood buildings and houses along the street, there are occasionally people who visit the windows, and they are also in a locked place and dare not come out. They are as quiet and quiet as ghosts, which makes Pei Ziyun, who is surrounded by others, and will not be pretentious and think it is boring.
He arrived at the Governor's Office. In front of the screen wall, there were personal soldiers standing in front of the gate of red lacquered copper nails. Several officials and lieutenants who came in first stood on the side.
Seeing the prince and Pei Ziyun coming, they both knelt down. A fourth-rank civil servant, who was about forty years old, had high cheekbones, was smart and quick, and was proficient in rituals. Pei Ziyun actually knew this man. He was a senator Chen Yuanzhi. He escaped, but he was not the county magistrate, and he was not responsible for losing his territory.
He is one of the most senior civil servants in Yingzhou at present. This person was the one who entered the city just now.
At this time, he followed along the corridor and came in. The Governor's Office was very magnificent and could see the traces of the newly decorated. Pei Ziyun stood still, sighing and said to Chen Yuanzhi: "The thief marquis usurped the throne and called him Duke. Many of them were illegal, and all of them were to be demolished."
"But it doesn't matter if the prince is here. As long as the prince does not overestimate the main hall, please invite the prince to move in."
"Real person, you are the chief general and should live in the main hall." The prince said.
"No, you are the chief general. I am a Taoist, and I should not live here, but I have not completely stepped down. If you have a sword and a token of the emperor, you should not be too humble to avoid losing the court's dignity. I will live in the West Courtyard."
He reiterated and said to Prince Chengshun again: "Your Majesty, you are tired from the frame. Why not go to rest now and discuss things tomorrow?"
Chen Yuanzhi secretly praised Pei Ziyuntian for his intelligence and ability to keep a low profile, and replied: "Yes, the official will follow this arrangement."
Prince Chengshun hesitated for a moment and did not refuse. He and his group entered the main hall and cleaned the room. Pei Ziyun went to the west courtyard. Someone brought him a bathtub and washed it quickly. He changed into new clothes, strode on his shoes and walked for two steps, and then went to the study.
There is a bookshelves in the study, but not many. Pei Ziyun looked around and smiled: "Is this the Governor's Study?"
I sat down and pondered that now the great destruction of the prefecture and the quelling of chaos in Jibei was over. It was time for the conclusion of the matter. Pei Ziyun ordered people to polish ink and lay paper, and calm down and write a report.
The great defeat of Jibei Hou had already decided, and they were all written one by one.
The lights are bright, and it is gradually dusk. The night is dark, and occasionally you can listen to the sound of crickets coming from the grass.
"Water, get me water."
Prince Chengshun was thirsty and called on Eunuch Chen to come. The entourage was in a hurry. Eunuch Chen came with a teapot and the water was poured over and handed it over.
Prince Chengshun drank water before lying on the bed and asked Eunuch Chen: "What's wrong with the night? Will the surrendered army be in motion? Will there be an assassin at night? Or will there be other news?"
Listening to Prince Chengshun’s concern, Eunuch Chen smiled and said, “Prince, Master Pei Zhenren’s arrangements are meticulous. Nothing happens from afternoon to night.”
"Oh!" Prince Chengshun heard this and became a little disappointed. Looking at Prince Chengshun like this, Eunuch Chen said, "Prince, Master Pei has sent a memorial."
Listening to the arrival of a note, Prince Chengshun's eyes lit up: "Hurry, get it quickly, I'll take it."
"Yes, Prince." Eunuch Chen turned around and took Pei Ziyun's memorial. Prince Chengshun took the memorial and looked carefully under the light.
Although the Prince Chengshun was young, he was very serious when he saw that he was well-organized and directed Chen Yong to conquer the prefecture city in one fell swoop. He said happily: "My father must be very happy to see me make meritorious."
Eunuch Chen stood on one side and laughed: "Yes, Prince, you have made this contribution. If you don't talk about the future, you will be promoted soon."
"Um!"
In the Daxu system, the prince was given the title and was granted the title of the prince. He was first granted the title of the Jiedushi. When he was given a great ceremony, he was then granted the title of Duke, the title of Prince, and the title of King, and the title of King. There were also orders for the transfer, so he did not grant the title immediately.
In theory, princes can be granted the title of prince, but it is hard to say whether they are granted the title of prince or not. It depends on the prince's background, his own character and ability, and the emperor's thoughts.
Now that this is the only one who can be named Prince is more than eighty-nine.
The annual salary of the prince is 5,000 taels of silver, 5,000 shi of rice, and the annual salary of the prince is 10,000 taels of silver, and 10,000 shi of rice, and the income is doubled.
Prince Chengshun was happy to read the note and read it. The format of the note was very special. Each battle was divided into one line. Who was the participant and who had a great role, it was simple and clear, and it was not messy at all. He could not help but secretly admire him by explaining the achievements and things of each person clearly.
After reading for a while, Prince Chengshun reached out and rubbed his eyes: "The written memorial in Pei Zhenren is so good, it is much clearer and clearer than the one I read from my father."
"Prince, Master Pei is quite talented, otherwise he would not have been able to quell the Yingzhou Rebellion so quickly."
As Eunuch Chen said, listening to this, Prince Chengshun couldn't help but nodded: "That's true."
"Your Majesty, you are young. If you have been watching the memorial for a long time, it is not good for your eyes. Why not get up early tomorrow morning and look again?" Eunuch Chen advised Prince Chengshun lay down a little, but he just lay down. But he couldn't help but get up and shook his hand: "I'll look for it for a while before going to sleep."
After saying that, he rubbed his eyes and looked at it again. It described Chen Yong's several times in the battle and made many achievements. When talking about Zhongqin Bo, there was no concealment. He said: "The Battle of Qibei seems to be defensive, but it actually restrains the main force of the thief army and has played an important role in the battle situation."
He also said: "Meng Yao was the commander-in-chief of the Navy. He did not despise the ministers as Taoists. He obeyed the orders strictly and meticulously. He did not act rashly for the sake of merit. He took the overall situation into consideration and restrained the Yingzhou Navy, which would benefit the situation of the war. His achievements were great."
The column will explain one by one, which is a lot of achievements.
After reading all of it, Prince Chengshun put the memorials together and let out a heavy breath.
"Boom" A sudden thunder sounded, followed by a crackling rain. Prince Chengshun was startled and then smiled: "The rebellion has been put down. I am in the house, so how could I be afraid of wind, rain, thunder and lightning?"
"Yes, the prince has been brave since he was a child." Eunuch Chen said with a smile: "This quelling of the rebellion is a clear proof."
Hearing this, the prince of Chengshun, who was only twelve years old, looked upright: "The real person said that I was well-organized in the center, and really respected me and loved me, but I knew in my heart that there was no such thing. It was the real person who planned and calculated thousands of miles to successfully quell the chaos. This great achievement would be without saying a single word, and by this, he would also have a great mind!"
"My subordinates love me, but Gu An dares to steal it."
"If you polish the ink, I will write a memorial to let my father hear it. Although I am young, I have always sent people to record the words and deeds of the real person in this battle. When the appendix is presented, I will let my father see it clearly."
As he said that, the prince suddenly remembered someone, frowned, and was stunned, showing his mature expression that he was beyond the age of twelve: "Rewrite the real person's memorial and send someone to give it to Bo Zhongqin."
"Yes!" Eunuch Chen responded and grind the ink for the prince in the inkstone.
After a moment, the prince wrote it in person, word by word. Eunuch Chen looked at it, and pride and sigh appeared in his heart. In fact, Prince Chengshun himself did not think it was, but from the perspective of an adult, Prince Chengshun was actually very good, with various qualities and potentials. Unfortunately, he was too young.
"The emperor is in poor health, how many years can he rule the world? The prince has a son again, so it is impossible for the young master to ascend the throne, so the prince has no chance."
"Even if the prince doesn't have the chance to ascend to the great treasure, the prince is still kind. With this skill, the prince can be a prince smoothly, which is a good result."
